Sentosa Seagrass Transect

Hello all! Had a great start to a day by waking up at 5am in order to reach Sentosa's last natural shore on time with low tide. Though I was sleepy and tired, the nature enthusiasism never seem to run out throughout the day and time passed real fast while we were having loads of fun. God's creation are marvellous. Just look at the biodiversity of the creatures living there! Today I was not really my usual self, rather I was estatic and shuffling about the whole stretch of shore like a kid in a playground nonstop. Kudos to the Wild Singapore team, esp Ria and Siti, for organising this event. They really took a lot of hardwork and heart into preparing everything "swee swee" or beautiful for us. Thanks also for our Team Halo for all the good job, we had good company. Siling backed out last min, oh sad man, you missed out a lot. :P

I have a lot of photos I wanna share, it's going to flood my blog. I don't care cos they are so beautiful! Let the picture do the talking, not me k?
